I’m looking for artists willing to collab with me for Locked Out
Okay, so... hi!
Some of you may know me as EleenaDume on Ao3, and I’m the author of the Owl House fanfiction Locked Out—for anyone that may not be following me here and would like proof I am who I claim to be, please check out the end notes of the story, you’ll see that this account is linked under “owl house tumblr”.
Lately, I’ve been contemplating including more art in the story and am now officially announcing that I’m looking for artists that like the story and would be willing to collab!
What do artists get out of this? A shoutout on social media when I post a chapter they’ve worked on, as well as a permanent hyperlink to a social media account of their choice in the end notes of the story. There will also be a link to their account directly below the piece(s) they’ve worked on, as well as in the bottom notes of the respective chapters.
Please just note that I cannot link back to anyone’s Ko-Fi/PayPal etc. in the fic itself, as this is forbidden via Ao3 guidelines.
Artists retain all ownership rights over their art—should you, ever, at any point, want your art removed from the story, it will be. Just let me know. You won’t even be required to give me a reason.
You’re working with me on a voluntary basis. You may drop out at any point. You may also reject a scene based on personal preferences and will get a different one in that case.
What kind of art is preferred? Your art can be digital or traditional, and whether it’s one panel or a comic, full-color or black and white or anything in-between is fully up to you.
You will be given a scene of a future chapter ahead of time. Unless it’s the sneak peek scene, this scene may not be discussed with anyone until the chapter itself is posted. Posting the scene beforehand, may it be in a server, a group chat or on social media, will get you removed from the project permanently.
You may post a cropped sneak peek of your piece on your social media before the chapter itself is posted, just please check with me first. The full piece can be posted once the chapter is uploaded to Ao3.
Whether or not I may repost the art on my social media accounts is up to you—if I do, you will of course be credited. Otherwise, I will just share your post.
If you’re okay with your art being added after a chapter is already posted, you won’t have any time limit.
Otherwise, I will give you your scene as early as possible and will wait for a limited amount of time before posting the chapter.
If you cannot complete a piece for a chapter in the time we agreed on for whatever reason, that’s okay! Please just let me know and we’ll figure something out.
Since there is a limit to how much art I will include in chapters as I don’t want to disrupt the reading flow too much, and since not every plot is covered in every chapter and you can choose the plot you would like to work on, please be aware that you won’t be working on art for every single chapter. You may be given a scene that’s more than one chapter into the future if your art requires a lot of time—provided you want that, since there would, of course, be spoilers.
You will get little to no input when it comes to how I write the story. Small tweaks may be suggested, but I have the whole story planned out already and will not be changing it up a lot.
If you’re interested in collaborating, please let me know by filling out this little questionnaire I made!
Before this scares anyone out of collaborating, please rest assured that this is NOT an application form. Everyone that wants to collaborate will be accepted. The questionnaire just exists for the sake of planning because I want anyone that agrees to collab with me to have the best possible experience and to be able to work on the things they actually want to work on.
If you have any questions, feel free to DM me!
You don’t have to reply immediately, take your time to contemplate, the questionnaire will probably remain open for replies for the foreseeable future.
Reblogs would be extremely appreciated! Thank you!
Okay, I know I said I wouldn’t be closing this anytime soon,
BUT
I got 20+ replies in under a day, which is absolutely incredible, massive, massive thank you to everyone who filled out the form, I’ll get back to you ASAP!
For everyone that is still contemplating whether or not they want to work with me at some point, don’t worry, this will eventually be re-opened! Locked Out is a pretty long story and most people are planning to stick around for a couple of chapters at most, so there will be plenty of opportunities for different artists to be included in this!
The form will be re-opened in a couple of chapters!
Once more, thank you for everyone who reblogged this and filled this in and I’m super thrilled with the responses I got, I can’t wait to work with everyone!
